In a letter to FEMA administrator Craig Fugate, Christie estimated that the state faces $36.9 billion in Sandy-related damages and that he expects the "financial impact will approach nearly $40 billion."

Down the Shore, business owners are trying to find ways to restore their small piece in an industry that generates $19 billion in revenue each year. But so many Garden State residents need help. Whether it's homes, towns or businesses, people need help — and hope. Whether you need a roof or a total rebuild — or if you were lucky enough to escape Sandy unscathed — do you agree with Christie's decision to seek complete support from the federal government?
